SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE CURSE OF THE HAMBROOK HOUND

​

FRIDAY 27th TO SATURDAY 28th NOVEMBER 2020 

​

Chidham & Hambrook Players, "Sherlock Holmes as you've never seen him before in the Curse of the Hambrook Hound". Roger Booth and Peter Hall, (Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson) give us their unique interpretation of an old classic. What is the curse that hangs over the Hambrook family? What is the terrible beast that roams the moor? Exhausted by his most recent case, Holmes and Watson go to Hambrook Hall to solve the mystery and Holmes begins to suspect everyone he questions, including himself. Sherlock Holmes in the Curse of the Hambrook Hound takes you on a funny, fast-paced adventure, with all the excitement of a Conan Doyle classic.

CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANZERS DOWN!

​

THURSDAY 1st TO SATURDAY 3rd APRIL 2021

​

Britain is in the midst of the Second World War and the brave Officers of the RAF are fighting the battle in the air over the south coast of England. In a little corner of Sussex, the officers of RAF Tangmere are playing their part in the Allied Forces' mission to defeat Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany and, ultimately, free Occupied Europe. When one of their own is suspected of being a spy for the Nazis, the rest of the team must come together to defeat their evil foe for the sake of our brave boys in the sky.

In this comedy musical, the Chidham & Hambrook Players pay tribute to the ordinary people who each played their part in Britain’s victory in 1945, as well as shamelessly plagiarising the work of Richard Curtis, writer of the Blackadder series on which this production is based. With daring pilots and plucky intelligence officers, as well as music from the period, this show will bring a bit of wartime Sussex to Chidham in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.
